I too have used the micro-mesh system. One of the best products to use for
cleaning & polishing plastics. If you have deep scratches, the procedure they
recommend will remove those deep scratches. The sanding papers in the kit go
all the way up to 10,000 grit before you start using the compounds.
My TR3 steel hardtop rear window had a scratch the thickness of a dime and I
was able to remove it . However it can be labor intensive depending how badly
the scratches are in the plastic.

The aviation industry uses Micromesh to polish out canopies and
windshields. It will remove any scratches you are likely to encounter.
I have used Micromesh and it works really well (don't skip any of the
steps). It is available from Aircraft Spruce (http://www.aircraftspruce.com
.). All of these type of products are fairly labor intensive and the
final result is related to the amount of effort you put into the
process. NFI and all of that.
